Note:   Most of these articles were written in the 1992-93 time period to convey a general sense of the issues to be considered in raising capital.   Most of this information remains applicable -- however, some of the information in the articles has been superseded by more recent developments in securities law.   In any case, they are not intended as particular legal advice since such advice would necessarily encompass current laws and relevant individual facts and circumstances.
